Fort Smith police looking for missing 24-year-old


Fort Smith police are looking for a 24-year-old woman who disappeared after she said she was going to a party in Alma on Dec. 30.

Police say they don't yet know whether Cassie Leigh Cotta ever showed up at the party. Police say Cotta's mother said her daughter was intoxicated when she disappeared. According to police, Cotta left her car at her home and never reported to work the next day at Perry's Place Bar in Fort Smith.

Friends and family have posted an online video and fliers on Cotta's Facebook page in hopes of locating the woman. Cotta is described as standing 5 foot 3 inches tall with a petite build. She has gauged ear piercings and numerous tattoos.

Fort Smith Woman Reported Missing

Alicia Agent 5NEWS Web Producer

4:14 p.m. CST, January 2, 2012

Fort Smith, Ark. – Cassie Cotta, 24, was last seen headed to a party in Alma with a man named Brandon Friday night, according to police. When she failed to show up for her New Year’s Eve shift at a Perry’s Place, a bar on N. 6th, her worried mother reported her missing.

Cpl. Stephen Dooly says Cotta's husband Brent was the last known person to speak with her.  Witnesses reported hearing gunshots in the neighborhood on Johnson Street where she was last seen, however, Cpl. Dooly tells 5NEWS witnesses say it’s common for that area.

The woman’s mother, Pearl Cook, tells 5NEWS that police have heard several stories from Cotta's friends and witnesses. Cook now believes her daughter was not going to a party that night. She says Cotta had been drinking and worries something may have happened to her. Cook says Cotta sent a text to a friend at 11 p.m. that night but 'it didn't make sense.'
